معرفی
Dr. Rose Brinkhoff is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Lund University's Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) and a Researcher with BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate) and MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system). Her work focuses on forest-climate interactions, carbon dynamics, and drought resilience in managed ecosystems.
Education:
- PhD in Plant Ecology and Ecophysiology, University of Tasmania, Australia (2022)
- Postdoctoral Research, Institute for Global Change Biology, University of Michigan, USA (until 2024)
Research Focus: Brinkhoff integrates field experiments and ecosystem modeling to investigate climate change impacts on forests. Her expertise spans plant physiological responses to nutrient supplementation, scaling carbon fluxes from leaf to ecosystem levels in montane meadows, and dynamic vegetation modeling under drought stress. Current work emphasizes translating empirical ICOS station data into actionable forestry management strategies through LPJ-GUESS simulations.
Active Project: Principal researcher in the FORMAS-funded WiSdoM project (2024-2026), developing drought-risk maps for Swedish production forests by coupling climate scenarios with stand-level growth models. This work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals 13 (Climate Action) and 15 (Life on Land).
Research Infrastructure: Embedded within Lund's interdisciplinary environmental hubs, Brinkhoff leverages CEC's climate monitoring capabilities, BECC's biodiversity-ecosystem service frameworks, and MERGE's Earth system modeling expertise to address forest vulnerability under global change.
